A young CEO prepares to push into new markets. A financier and his business partner discuss whether they'll serve jail time as their investment firm disintegrates. Hundreds of people soar overhead in the Super Bowl Village while hundreds of thousands visit Indianapolis.

IBJ captured these dramas on video in 2012 as the city enjoyed an extended stay in the national spotlight. From the glorious to the notorious—Indy's couldn't-go-better-if-it-was-scripted stint as Super Bowl XLVI host to the fraud trial of Ponzi schemer Tim Durham and two associates—the sights and sounds of the major events proved just as compelling as the printed word.

We've compiled the viewership numbers for 100-plus videos produced by IBJ over 2012 and found the 10 with the largest audiences. The countdown, plus footage from each piece, appears in the video below.



Each of the top 10 videos originally appeared as part of a multimedia news package on IBJ.com. The following are links to the stories that contained the videos.

  1. these guys only skill was to steal from other's hard earned savings.

  2. I voted for him last time and it WAS the LAST time. He needed to to quit running around the world on useless trips, and giving our $$ away to sports teams. I'll vote for anyone but Ballard next time. BTW...we gave $40M to the Pacers and cannot even watch the games on TV.

  3. For the people concerned about traffic, you should know that mixed-use projects (like the one being proposed), actually allows for and encourages more people to walk and bike, thereby mitigating additional automobile traffic. If we continue to design and build suburban-type projects in the City (i.e. automobile-oriented projects), we are not offering anything different from what the suburbs offer, which means we will continue to lose jobs/people to the suburbs. The reason Broad Ripple is somewhat successful today is that people want to live in a place that offers the convenience of being able to walk/bike to restaurants, retail, nightlife, the Monon, etc. Why would you not want to support a project that is complimentary to what already makes the area desirable? The real argument with this project should be its lack-luster design and layout, not the density.

  4. It is unfortunate that there is a perception that celebrities validate an event. The Indy 500 stands on its own, especially for those coming in from out of town. It was always so disturbing to read the gushing descriptions of Ashley Judd threaded throughout the local coverage. Very happy that era is at an end.

  5. Good ole' Obamacare. Thanks liberals and those who didn't bother to vote.
